The Shackles Are Off!
Jack and Buendia off, El Ghazi and Davis on....We will be subbing Super Jack a lot next season. No need to risk him getting injured when we are 4 up with 20 mins to go.

Did you see the stress it caused Jack when he was subbed in the 87th minute, poor lad looked like a 10 year old when you tell them they're not playing this week
Embarrassing.
Yes on reflection I thought that and was just about to delete it until you quoted the post so now it stays.
That is the sort of shit that makes me livid with top players. Why cheat? To see Jack do that breaks my heart.
To be fair he also showed some fantastic skills as well and he does get fouled far more than any other player I've ever seen and I've seen a few!
or as one stat said, earns more fouls. Half wouldn't have been back in the day and I miss football from back in the day. It is what it is now.... crap!
I'm beyond caring if he's a diver to be honest. Virtually every player is nowadays and if they aren't they suffer for it. There's at least 2 occasions where Ollie could have gone down and got a penalty but didn't and got nothing. Another perfect example in the game I've just watched. The Welsh defender pretty much tearing off Embolos shirt off his back. Its a foul and a penalty but Embolo stays up and gets nothing out of it. All very noble but Bale would have gone down and won the game for his team.
I'd love every player on every team to play with the corinthian spirit of fairness and sportsmanship but its not going to happen and nor has it ever happened btw. There have always been cheats, divers and dirty bastards. The only difference now is we've got more replays and exposure to it.
Yes, he does look for fouls just as other players also do in every other team.
It's part of the game now and it's yet another nail in the coffin for the game we love.
I detest most of all the fake screaming and rolling around trying to get a fellow pro sent off or booked.
Think back to the likes of George Best etc riding brutal tackles just trying to beat someone with determination and endeavour and get one over another player with skill.
Those days are well-gone mate.
Start a thread to welcome them bothDo you know what I'd love to happen, all this press talk about Man City want Jack and who they will get rid of to accommodate him. Well I'd love our owners to leak a story that we want KDB or Foden. Imagine the press reaction
He'd have had to be subbed now, certainly wouldn't be allowed to play onI don’t think he was faking it.
